History:

The origins of Bodegas Fernando Castro date back to 1850, when its founder started his career in the world of viticulture. Since then, this activity has passed from father to son and has given rise to the most traditional family winery of its region. A wine-producing company which has learned to adapt to both the new times and technologies, whilst keeping the expertise and essence of the traditions passed down from generation to generation. Bodegas Fernando Castro has evolved thanks not just to its enthusiasm, passion and love for wine and participation of a whole family, but also to its gradual adaptation to the market demand.

Regional Information:

The Denomination of Origin Valdepeñas takes in more than 28,000 hectares of vineyards and includes 33 producing wineries. The terms ‘Valdepeñas’ and ‘wine’ could be synonyms. Valdepeñas holds its own D.O. thanks to its long history as a wine-making area, with a typical style of wine production. As a matter of fact, everything seems to indicate that this tradition goes back to the Iberian times. Given the care taken when carrying out quality controls, the implementation of new technologies within the wine-making process and the mastery with which we commercialize our wines, we can most definitely foresee a great future for the D.O. Valdepeñas wines.
